ARREST TO PARENTS WHO REFUSE TO LET THEIR CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL
Parents should keep in mind a 2023 Basic Education PS Belio Kipsang memo, according to Obuhatsa, which states that no student should be dismissed for unpaid payments.
In response to parents who have not yet enrolled their children in school, the National Parents Association (NPA) has issued criticism.
NPA Chairperson Silas Obuhasta called for the parents' arrest and stressed the value of children going to school.
Obuhasta claimed that because of a shortage of school payments, the Association continues to encounter situations of students remaining at home.
"In particular, parents of junior secondary students." He declared, "They ought to be taken into custody and prosecuted for keeping their kids out of school.
According to him, President William Ruto gave the order for all pupils to attend class since the government had given the school access to capitation monies.
We don't anticipate pupils to be at home once government funds have been allocated to educational institutions. Unfortunately, although school administrators are quite clean, some parents continue to blame school administrators for fee-related issues," he stated.
According to Obuhtsa, parents need to be trained to fulfill their responsibilities of educating their kids.
He pleaded with the provincial authorities to assist in organizing and bringing all school-age youngsters from ECDE upwards to schools right away.
According to him, parents ought to be open to coming to the schools to talk with the administrators about fee concerns.

"The purpose of this circular was not to incite parents to stay home from school and disregard the principal's requests to pay significant overdue fees. In a word, "How do these parents expect principals to run schools on a shoestring?"
However, according to Obuhatsa, the Association has also gotten a lot of complaints from parents in the Machakos County, Mbooni, and Mitamboni districts who claim that school administrators are sending kids home early.
He stated that as it would be illegal to send students home over unpaid fees, no school administrator should defy government orders.
